My Weekend Cigar Review: Ozgener Family Pi Synesthesia Red
Reading Time: 3 minutes Tim Ozgener collaborated with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo to create Pi Synesthesia Red, the second cigar in this Ozgener Family release where the flavor profile is defined by a color, for example: Red. So, what does Red taste like? Watch now.
Interesting.
When out for the day, I keep a cigar in the tube to keep it from getting damaged and it also keeps them from drying out.
Travel spice kit.
I have some of my grandfather’s cigar tubes & keep my crochet hooks in them. Great for keeping them organized & from snagging my project.

My wife fills them with water, freezes them and rubs them over sore arm and shoulder joints for ache relief!
Use them to hold every day cigars in the saddle bag on my horses while I move cattle, the cigars don’t get smashed.
I used the glass tubes at Christmas and filled them with home-made bath salts. Tied a label around the top with a ribbon and a tag with ingredients. I used epsom salt, pink himalayan salt and eucalyptus oil.
A Cigar is prepared from good quality tobacco leaves which are rolled to various lengths and girths.

I fill glass tubes with water, freeze them, and use them to keep my bourbon chilled while enjoying a cigar/bourbon moment. Keeps the bourbon chilled without watering it down. I haven’t tried this with aluminum tubes; afraid they might affect the flavor of the bourbon, even though they’re painted.
Great idea! Thanks for the tip, and I agree on the aluminum tubes.

Hi. I have some Henri Wintermans Corona de Luxe that my Dad had for a number of years. They are in cellophane, in tubes and then in a box. Does anyone know how long they last and if they will be any good? Thanks
Hi Lesley –
Even if they’re in the original box. Unless they were kept humidified – you say a few years – they may be dried-out by now.
My advice is to open the box, take one out, and if it feels hard and brittle, you’re past the point of no return.
Good luck, and let us know how they were.

I just recently finished converting a LaCache Wine fridge into a humidor and had custom drawers made. I needed Pulls for the drawers so made several tubos into drawer pulls
Excellent idea. That wine fridge should keep your ‘gars in ship shape. Send us a picture and we’ll post it.

I’m only an occasional top shelf cigar smoker. When I do get a tube I wear the hell out of it. I rarely finish my cigar in one sitting so I extinguish it in the tube by gently capping it off. Looking for one that can hold a gordo.
Hi Jean-Pierre. I’m not a fan of putting a smoked cigar back in its tubo. But if you do, I hope you cut off the ash before you put it in there. I would think that the cigar would get very smelly etc.
But if it works for you, that’s fine. There may be a couple of Gordo (6×60) tubes you can find.
I’ve got a Haddon Hall glass cigar tube that someone used for a sail makers kit, all the various size needles and a couple of bone/ivory awls.
That sounds great. Send us a picture of it.
[…] I didn’t encounter many cigar boxes, but my uncles smoked cigars that came individually in thin metal tubes. These, combined with other items such as the tops of toothpaste tubes, could be readily fashioned […]
